Breathe
September evening /
breathes in the day’s last embers, /
breathes out its lost dreams

Raspberries
Collected at dusk, /
raspberries in an old cap, /
makeshift evening food.

Latte-dah
Summer is over, so Starbucks declares, /
bringing forth their fall pumpkin wares. /
Temperatures still roiling across the US. /
When they will break is anybody’s guess. /
Hurricanes hit California and other coasts, /
but Iced Pumpkin Cream Chai Latte Starbucks boasts. /
It may be 69 days until Halloween /
but this declaration seems self-serving and a bit obscene.

Life
Each life is lived /
in the uncertainty of /
the hour of its death.

Squirrel
A feast of old bread /
the squirrel appreciates, /
wary as I watch.

Bee
Bee darts among blooms, /
gathering summer’s pollen, /
whispering of fall.

Rain
Rain hits the petals /
while anthers still beckon bees. /
The lily endures.

Space
Physical and mental,
bruised with color, words, and shapes,
walls contour your space.

Reflection
In dying waters, /
abandoned building ripples /
upon reflection.
